Have you managed to fill it as it is many times this season?

The south stand has been filled more often than not I believe, so great idea making more space available for people like me who don't have a season ticket and can only commit to going to games at the last minute, but don't want to sit/stand behind the posts...

We're only making it bigger to stop Wigan fans crying that it's too small icon_wink.gif

Seriously though i'd say the North, South and East fill most weeks just the away end doesn't fill.

I agree, regarding the seating bit anyway, we have enough seats... But, and as somebody said earlier, when we moved from Wilderspool, was it really necessary for a crap team to have a 14000 capacity stadium? We're a bit better, so attendances should increase...

It's our stadium, we'll do what we want icon_wink.gif

Monitoring outside for the people inside:



Over the last week I have realised how good the HJ is as regards location and size.

Firstly before and after the wigan game, the town centre was buzzing. Shirts everywhere, in the pubs, shops and eateries. Imagine if the stadium was in an edge of town or shopping park location, eg KC, DW, Odsal, Salfords new place.

Secondly, the game at the KC last night showed how a stadium can be too big for the sport. Over 11000 there but it was like a morgue, and row upon row of empty seats.

For once last week, I decided to go the match by public transport. One bus and a 5 minute walk, superb.

Excluding the cup games the South Stand has only had more than 150 tickets left on once. Its sold out on 7 or 8 occassions.

That's the difference having the stadium in the town centre rather than out of town. Salford are looking to improve attendances following what we did, but their problem is the location of the stadium @ Barton which means most people having to go by car rather than walk/public transport - can't see it happening myself.

The other good thing with our stadium location is the benefit to the rest of the town with increased revenue to the pubs/shops etc

Bang on, TF

Great location for ALL
Us Wire speccies
close to town centre and pubs (though some are pooh-holes)
Couple of minutes walk to taxi rank/bus station
central location

Away speccies
Close to town centre for those who want to spend their dosh in our town
Central Station (most away fan's teams served by this station)
Big carpark next to ground

You wouldn't have any of this, if we'd have made the hair-brained decision to go to Limekiln (I think it was called) in Burtonwood. It would've been OK for the banjo pluckers, and that's it. It would've almost been like an away game.

Seems a strange decision to play a major RL international in Warrington in the first place, not that I'm complaining.

Went past ground today and there was no exit gate in the South West corner just metal railings stopping you from walking on the pitch.

I heard they are using one of the "obsolete" gates from the east end of the ground in that corner (think somebody got a bit heavy handed when making the hole for them). The club will need access for emergency vehicle if ever there is a major incident inside the ground so they will probable put a diagonal wall across that corner.

Ah right.

Just looked weird as it was open to see I was tempted to get a ball and score a try haha.

Looking forward to standing on Curva Sud when its done.
